Hi,
I'm trying to develop a class to handle an XML document, where
the contents aren't so much indexed on a per-document basis,
rather on an element basis. Each element has a unique ID, so
I'm looking to create a class/method similar to Lucene's
Document.Document(). By way of example, I'll use some XHTML
markup to illustrate what I'm trying to do:
<html>
<base href="http://purl.org/ceryle/blat.xml"/>
[...]
<body>
<p id="p1">
some text to index...
</p>
<p id="p2">
some more text to index...
</p>
<p id="p3">
even more text to index...
</p>
</body>
</html>
I'd very much appreciate any help in explaining how I'd go about
creating a method to return a Lucene Document to index this via
ID. Would I want a separate Document per <p>? (There are many
thousands of such elements.) Everything in my system, both at the
document and the individual element level is done via URL, so
the method should create URLs for each <p> element like
http://purl.org/ceryle/blat.xml#p1
http://purl.org/ceryle/blat.xml#p2
http://purl.org/ceryle/blat.xml#p3
etc.
I don't need anyone to go to the trouble of coding this, just point
me to how it might be done, or to any existing examples that do this
kind of thing.
Thanks very much!
Murray

"If we can just get the people that can reconcile themselves
to the new dispensation out of the way and then kill the few
thousand people who can't reconcile themselves, then we can
let the remaining 98 percent come back and live out their
lives," Pike said. "If we bomb the place to the ground, those
peace-loving people won't have a home to live in. [...] If we
simply pulverize the city, it would look bad on TV." -- John Pike
U.S., Iraqi troops mass for assault on Fallujah
STRATEGY: U.S. to employ snipers, robots to cut down casualties

"We have a growing, maturing insurgency group. We see larger
and more coordinated military attacks. They are getting better
and they can self-regenerate. The idea there are x number of
insurgents, and that when they're all dead we can get out is
wrong. The insurgency has shown an ability to regenerate itself
because there are people willing to fill the ranks of those who
are killed. The political culture is more hostile to the US
presence. The longer we stay, the more they are confirmed in
that view." -- W Andrew Terrill
